“You know, the Guy with the Long Testicles…”

I love it when kids mispronounce things. Especially in public. Like what happened at the park this morning…
It’s one of those idyllic Australian summer mornings -although I’m sitting in the shade of a European tree – mild temperature, no cloud, slight cool breeze. Families playing happily around me. My son and his friend are off playing Jedis and I’m reading my latest mindless fiction acquisition.
The two boys appear at my elbow, asking my help in deciding what their Jedi names should be. After I make a few suggestions – which are completely dismissed of course – Youngest Son’s friend says that he wants to be a certain character (a minor Jedi) who I can’t recall.
In his frustration to describe the character to me, he eventually blurts at the top of his voice “You know, the guy with the long testicles on his head!”
What episode of Star Wars was that in? I think to myself.
“I … think you mean, tentacles,” I chuckle, “Yes, I know who you mean now…” (See photo below).
Glad I worked that one out quickly…
Thanks to fellow blogger Tanya for recently recording a similar incident that made me chuckle also. You can visit Hard Teats for the full story…
…Oh, and here’s that Star Wars fellow we were discussing earlier.
“Hey fella, nice haircut!”

Just my way of posting 3 Star Wars Parodies in one sitting. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: you can never have enough Star Wars parodies!
Episode I: Monty Python and the Black Knight of the Sith
Episode II: Star Wars Gangsta Rap
“There’s a city in the clouds where they’re keepin’ ma crewe,
“A Jedi’s gotta do what a Jedi’s gotta do…”
Episode III: Star Wars Help Desk
(TheMolk may relate to this one)
On the 10th Day of Christmas…

This will probably be the last episode I’ll post, because they kind of lose their way from here. The rest are on YouTube anway…

Lightsaber duel in Aisle Seven ! More Retail Dark Side whackiness from the genius of Matt Sloane and Aaron Yonda…
Great lines to watch for “There’s a guy sleeping on the meat!” and “Who took my meat pillow!”
WARNING: There’s a few expletives in this one so probably watch it first before whether or not to show it to the kids…

While I’m thinking (procrastinating, more like) about Leah Maclean’s recent challenge to me to add some pearls of wisdom to this blog, here’s some more meaningless fun… 
You all know my Star Wars obsession, right? Well, what would happen if a Dark Lord of the Sith didn’t have the advantage of being good friends with the Galactic Empire and had to make it in the real working world? The following video explores that deep metaphysical philosophical question…
Warning: If you don’t like a little cussing, you may not want to watch this. (If you do, enjoy!)
